About this map

The waters of Lake Michigan and Lake Charlevoix dominate this coastal landscape in Charlevoix County, defining the region's geography through a series of significant peninsulas and bays. The city of Charlevoix occupies the narrow strip of land between the lakes, while the settlement of Ironton marks the transition into the South Arm of Lake Charlevoix. This 2019 survey documents the intricate shoreline features from Ninemile Point in the north to Hemingway Point in the south, including smaller interior bodies of water like Susan Lake and Adams Lake.

Coastal landmarks such as Mt McSauba and Big Rock Point highlight the diverse topography of the lakefront. Local transit patterns are visible through established routes like Old US 31 Hwy N and Big Rock Rd, which connect the small community of Burgess to the larger centers. The map illustrates how residential development and recreation have integrated with the natural coves of Oyster Bay and Loeb Bay.
